"You think you know me well
But you don’t know me
No, you don’t know the one
Who dreams of you at night
Oh I am just a friend
That’s all I’ve ever been
You don’t know me"

- Jann Arden (Underground - pg 142)

…

These days are tough. The toughest so far. And it has been going on like this for months.

People keep on getting what they want. Good news is everywhere.

But I’m still here waiting. Waiting for my turn to come. Waiting for the next door to be opened.

I don’t know when. I’m not sure whether there will be one or not.

I’m here questioning God. Should I just give this dream up?

I’m tired fighting the insecurity. I’ve passed through all the stages of grief: denial, anger and bitterness, bargaining and trying to keep all the positivity alive, depression, and now acceptance.

Let my heart be enlarged.

Good Luck.

I have been nothing but nice and loyal.
Forgiveness and second chances.
Yes chance plus s, so it’s plural.

People call me dumb.
I think I’m dumb.
So when do I gotta be smart?
I think it is now.

When I realized some things are naturally going the same way.
The same pattern is being repeated.
I told ya, same old same old.

Some things are unchangeable.
Beyond my control.
I should’ve known better.

I really think the private learning session is finally has come to an end.
No more sweet talks.
No more promises.
Lets keep the distance.
Until further notice.

I wanna see changes.
Good luck.

Inspite of, not Because of

It’s impossible for us to find a perfect spouse if we model him/her toward someone, atau toward our own sets of criteria.

The world just doesnt work that way. We’re not God yang bisa bikin orang sempurna, sesuai dengan semua yang kita mau.

But we can try to find someone that just works. That when you and that someone are together, you both just work.

Despite all the hiccups and each other’s shortcomings and imperfections and flaws.

Banyak dari Beno yang mau gue ubah, sama seperti banyak dari gue yang pasti dia juga mau ubah.

Countless. Banyak banget.

Tapi terus, mau nunggu kita bisa mengubah each other dulu according to our ideal mindset baru bisa nerima? Nggak kan?

Sure we’re making adjustments with each other as we go supaya bisa jalan hubungannya, tapi ada beberapa things yang left unchanged dan memang harus di-accept aja.

Jadi nasihat gue buat lo semuanya: stop trying to find the perfect spouse according to your own ideal.

Just find someone who just works with you. That’s all that matters.

Relationship is work.

Jadi kalau udah ketemu yang sayang sama lo, lo sayang sama dia, both of you can work things out together, and it feels right (not perfect) ya udah.

You should love someone inspite of, not because of.
